Harrison, who is slashing .298/.365/.456 with eight home runs entering Monday's series opener in Milwaukee, is tied for second among National League second basemen with 1.9 Wins Above Replacement, according to FanGraphs. Harrison trails only the Nationals' Daniel Murphy (2 WAR), the ballot leader among NL second basemen, yet he is not among the top five vote-getters at second base.
McCutchen's overall .257/.332/.466 slash line this season is not up to his pre-2016 standard, but he is moving in the right direction. McCutchen is hitting .377/.456/.701 with six homers and 17 RBIs in 21 games since he was dropped to the sixth spot in the lineup.
